The draw has been held and the order of play set for the Davis Cup men's tennis final between Spain and the United States in the Spanish city of Seville. The U.S. team will have to overcome a Spanish team that has both the home crowd and the clay-court surface on its side.

Fish, the Athens Olympic silver medalist, says that he knows playing on the clay courts of Seville will be a challenge for the U.S. team, which is better suited to hard courts.

"You know we are probably going to have to stay out there for a long time," he said. "Mentally and physically that is pretty grueling and we are well aware of that. We came into this tie [best of five series] knowing the task and that's probably what we are going to have to accomplish."

Andy Roddick says that the choice of Rafael Nadal shows how deep the Spanish team is.

"Personally, I was expecting them to play Ferrero," he noted. "At the same time, I think our team knows that they have four very capable singles players. And that is one of their strengths, that they do have options and they can mix and match."
